“Hopes, belief, faith, and chimerical and utopian wish-fantasies
which are constructed upon a foundation that is lacking or void of
knowledge—are weak and ineffectual—as if resting upon quicksand; for it is on
such a foundation that the seeds of utopian wish-fantasies, chimerical ideas,
and the relativistic morality of political correctness are sown: Knowledge, on
the other hand, does not need hopes, beliefs, or faith to support it. Knowledge
rests upon a foundation of solid rock, and from such a foundation, one may then
with validity rightfully speak of hopes, beliefs, and faith.”
